🏓 Don’t get yourself in a pickle

The Buy

The Buy Editor Emily here. Recently, I used Embark’s Breed + Health Dog DNA Test to learn more about my dog Meredith (yup, that’s her above).

I didn’t know much about her breed, or how to best care for her. Thanks to Embark’s Breed + Health Dog DNA Test, that’s all changed. I’ve learned Meredith is a mix of American Pit Bull, Australian Cattle Dog, Dalmatian, and that she may be at higher risk for Intervertebral Disc Disease. Now I can take proactive steps to support her health — like keeping her on a balanced diet and opting for a harness over a collar to help reduce strain on her spine.

Try Embark for your dog, discover their unique DNA, and give them the best possible care.

The Wrap
